Oh, dear!

Well, I hope the first to go with be all these pernicious garden weeds - like Ground Elder and Couch Grass.

Next in line for extinction should be the Japanese Knotweed and Himalayan Balsam groups.

If only Nature could be selective in the RIGHT way. But then, maybe she knows something worthwhile about them that we don't.......... yet!
